can i plant this ? (cut tree)
Hi all
My neighbor was throwing this out. i was picking it up for the compost pile and i saw roots. i am a newb when it comes to nanas i know they will die and come back thats about it. I need a banana plant for the carbon / compost and to help protect my papaya during the winter. can i use that little chunk of roots as well ? (on the brown paper) and is planting depth OK ? assuming its not going to die anyway. - - |

Re: can i plant this ? (cut tree)
If it already flowered then the corm (bulb-like structure at bottom) will not grow a new stock. However, it might sprout another corm to the side and if so, it will eventually grow a stalk.

Re: can i plant this ? (cut tree)
Most likely the only useable outcome is getting the corm to pup, which is quite possible.

Re: can i plant this ? (cut tree)
Those roots look kinda dead, but anything's worth a try!
In Zone 10, you should be able to plant at ground level or an inch below. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong though.
